Consultation has concluded

Bathurst Regional Council has developed a draft Community Safety Plan 2023 - 2028. The Community Safety Plan ensures the ongoing implementation of crime prevention strategies, which support the development of the Bathurst region as a healthy, socially cohesive and safe community.

The implementation of a Community Safety Plan does not suggest that Bathurst has a crime problem. Bathurst Regional Council and the Bathurst Regional Community Safety Committee recognise that crime, including the perception of crime, can impact the wellbeing of the local community.

Through consultation and development of a crime profile, the following priority areas and target crimes have been identified for the Community Safety Plan 2023 - 2028;

Safe Homes and Neighbourhoods

  • Steal from motor vehicle
  • Break and enter dwelling
  • Malicious damage to property

Safe and Respectful Relationships

  • Domestic violence related assault
  • Intimidation, stalking and harassment
  • Sexual assault

Safer city

  • Non-domestic violence related assault
  • Malicious damage to property
  • Steal from motor vehicle
  • Steal from retail store
  • Fraud
  • Drug offences

Council is seeking feedback on the draft plan. A copy can be downloaded from the document library.
